Some interesting details.

Quote
The RPA represents more than 800 active male and female players, along with more than 400 former players, but the departure of England's men will represent a loss in income.

In 2020, England prop Ellis Genge announced plans to start a new union to gain better "support and legal advice" for elite players.

While his new union never emerged, it was one of the first signals that not all the players were happy with the RPA relationship.

No information on the new agency understood to represent the England men has yet been released.
